Anthropogenic activities generally consume non-renewable resources and release polluting substances into the environment. Concerning agriculture, cropping systems are almost based on exploiting resources. In recent years, increasing interest has been devoted to reusing agricultural, food other biomass wastes, considered relevant as they can be seen rich in compounds that find numerous applications. Biomass biorefining successfully applied opened up sustainable alternatives disposal of agroindustrial wastes. this area, an emerging, smart environmentally friendly way reduce impact waste environment is obtain innovative materials for agriculture. Therefore, part biobased strategies, use biostimulants biogenic nanoparticles crops recently proposed. Some research shown appropriate nanomaterials have potential counteract some problems plague The above improve crop performance, enhance tolerance biotic abiotic stresses, plant nutrition. light above, review aspires, first part, provide overview ideas central points characterize concept bioeconomy circular economy. second hand, most studies related valorization various types wastes leading their application agriculture presented. particular, obtained through synthesis using residues considered. conclusion, reported show biomasses represents a management valorization, enabling

Biorefineries as a driver for sustainability: Key aspects, actual development and future prospects

Journal of Cleaner Production, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 418, С. 137925 - 137925

Опубликована: Июль 19, 2023

The overexploitation of resources, the increase world population and trend consumption based on "use throw away" is causing an increasing pressure waste management. In this sense, it necessary to promote sustainable practices in valorization streams as a strategy for co-production bioproducts bioenergy. This approach can lead more production chains, lower environmental burdens are expected. However, even if promising cascade technology could be used, technical economic feasibility biorefineries remains challenge. report aims provide various insights how assess from sustainability perspective, including also available standards guidelines that enable reliable, accurate transparent assessments. It shows where focus inclusion value chain, communicate/visualize their potential, promotion bio-based products recovered resources. outcomes main conclusions summarized importance need assessing biorefinery scenarios under perspective have increased market considering aspects international guidelines, certification schemes voluntary standards.

Recent advances in biotechnological valorization of agro-food wastes (AFW): Optimizing integrated approaches for sustainable biorefinery and circular bioeconomy

Bioresource Technology Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 26, С. 101823 - 101823

Опубликована: Март 24, 2024

Achieving renewable clean energy to meet increasing global demand and counter overreliance on depleting unsustainable sources has recently drawn significant research interest. Similarly, attain the sustainable development goals (SDGs) "zero hunger" agenda, massive agricultural/food productions are embarked on, leading increased agro-food waste (AFW) generation with enormous handling costs evade its contribution environmental pollution. The advent of biorefineries fostered a healthy balance for tackling challenges from AFW – thereby promoting circular bioeconomy (CBE). Integrating several emerging microbial/enzymatic bioconversion processes facilitated overall increase in process efficiency. This review, therefore, provides extensive information ecological impacts AFW, as well biorefinery sustainability. We also critically reviewed advances integrated engineering valorization. Finally, limitations prospects real-life application these recent approaches were suggested.

Sustainability implications of transformation pathways for the bioeconomy

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 29, С. 215 - 227

Опубликована: Окт. 19, 2021

Countries around the world are devising and implementing bioeconomy strategies to initiate transformation towards sustainable futures. Modern concepts of extend beyond bio-based energy provision include: (1) substitution fossil resource-based inputs various productive sectors, such as chemical industry construction sector, (2) more efficient, including new cascading uses biomass, (3) a low bulk, but high-value biologisation processes in agro-food, pharmaceutical, recycling industries. Outcomes past attempts at engineering transformation, however, proved be context-dependent contingent on appropriate governance measures. In this paper we theoretically motivate apply system-level theory change framework that identifies central mechanisms four distinct pathways, through which can generate positive or negative outcomes multiple domains Sustainable Development Goals. Based emblematic examples from three illustrating how case-specific mixes pathways emerge translate into outcomes. We find observed evoke link bioeconomic sustainability gains losses. insight derive key lessons help inform design enable regulate bioeconomies.
